Today, Alex delves into the enigmatic worlds of neurosurgery and thriller writing with esteemed guest Dr. Gary Simonds.
Dr. Simonds, a retired chief of neurosurgery and residency program director from the Karelian Clinic and the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, continues to shape future generations as a professor at the Virginia Tech School of Neuroscience.
The discussion explores the complexity of the human brain and the intricacies of neurological connections, as well as the psychological aspects of being a neurosurgeon.
Dr. Simonds also discusses the transition from his medical career to becoming an author and the themes of his medical psychological thriller, "Death's Pale Flag."
Moreover, the conversation touches on the characteristics required to deliver difficult news to patients, the emotional toll on health professionals, and the importance of empathy in practice.
